Happy Babylon Day!
16 years ago
The 4th. A day we celebrate a bunch of white slave owners who slave owners who didnt want to have to pay taxes anymore!
America has a long way to come, in my eyes.
Until the philosophy which hold one race superior
And another
Inferior
Is finally
And permanently
Discredited
And abandoned -
Everywhere is war -
Me say war.
That until there no longer
First class and second class citizens of any nation
Until the colour of a mans skin
Is of no more significance than the colour of his eyes -
Me say war.
That until the basic human rights
Are equally guaranteed to all,
Without regard to race -
Dis a war.
That until that day
The dream of lasting peace,
World citizenship
Rule of international morality
Will remain in but a fleeting illusion to be pursued,
But never attained -
Now everywhere is war - war.
And until the ignoble and unhappy regimes
That hold our brothers in angola,
In mozambique,
South africa
Sub-human bondage
Have been toppled,
Utterly destroyed -
Well, everywhere is war -
Me say war.
War in the east,
War in the west,
War up north,
War down south -
War - war -
Rumours of war.
And until that day,
The african continent
Will not know peace,
We africans will fight - we find it necessary -
And we know we shall win
As we are confident
In the victory
Of good over evil -
Good over evil, yeah!
-- Bob Marley, 'War"

War!
Hooh!
Yeah!
What is it good for?
Absolutely nothin'.
Uh-ha, aah-ha.
War!
Hooh!
Yeah!
What is it good for?
Absolutley nothin'.
Say it again, y'all.
War!
Hooh!
Look out!
What is a good for?
Absolutely nothin'.
Listen to me,
OHHHH! War! I despise,
'Cause it means destruction of innocent lives,
War means tears to thousands of mother's eyes,
When their sons go to fight and lose their lives.
I said WAR!
Hooh!
Good God, y'all!
What is a good for?
Absolutely nothin'.
Say it again!
War!
Hooh! Woh-woh woh-oh woh, Lord.
What is a good for?
Absolutely (nothin'.
Listen to me!
War! It ain't nothin' but a heartbreaker,
War! Friend only to the undertaker.
OHHH! War is an enemy to all mankind.
The thought of war blows my mind.
War has caused unrest within the younger generation.
Induction then destruction.
Who wants to die?
OHHHH!
WAR!
Good God, y'all!
What is a good for?
Absolutely nothin'.
Say it, say it, SAY IT!
WAR!
Uh hooh! huh, yeah.
Hooh!
What is a good for?
Absolutely nothin'.
Listen to me!
War! It ain't nothin' but a heartbreaker.
War! It's got one friend that's the undertaker.
OHHHH! War has shattered many a young man's dreams,
Made him disabled, bitter and mean.
Life is much too short and precious,
To spend fightin' wars these days.
War can't give life, it can only take it away!
OHHH, WAR!
Hooh!
Good God, y'all!
What is a good for?
Absolutely nothin'.
Say it again!
War!
Woh-hooh!-woh woh-oh woh, Lord.
What is a good for?
a-Absolutely nothin'.
Listen to me.
War! It ain't nothin' but a heartbreaker.
War! Friend only to the undertaker, wooh!
Peace, love and understandin', tell me,
Is there no place for them today?
They say we must fight to keep our freedom,
But Lord knows there's got to be a better way.
OHHHH, WAR!
Hooh!
Good God, y'all!
What is a good for?
You tell me!
Say it, say it, say it, saaaay it!
War!
Good God, now!
Hooh!
What is a good for?
Stand up and shout it, NOTHIN'!
